The hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe sounded the alarm on Monday over President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to install MAGA loyalist Kash Patel as the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, focusing much of their attention on Patel’s promise to “come after” the media.
In fact, Joe Scarborough repeatedly aired a 2023 clip of Patel touting Trump’s plan to seek retribution against his opponents if elected, noting that Trump “apologists” on Capitol Hill should be “deeply disturbed by this” and vow to block Patel’s nomination.
